FUM often draws on the wisdom and writings of Howard Thurman. Thurman writes about prayer, and also and writes some beautiful prayers. Thurman writes, “Prayer is a form of communication between God and man and man and God... I am always impressed by the fact that it is recorded that the only thing that the disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to do was to pray.” Through prayer. we experience a deepening intimacy and fellowship with God, draw on God’s wisdom and strength, unite with God’s purpose to bring light and hope to the world.
